1:14th ACR

The 1st Squadron, 14th Armored Cavalry Regiment (1/14th ACR) traces its origins to the formation of the 14th Cavalry Regiment in 1901, serving initially in the Philippines and on the Mexican border. During World War II, the regiment was reconstituted as the 14th Armored Reconnaissance Battalion and later as the 14th Cavalry Group, participating in key European campaigns, including the Battle of the Bulge. In the Cold War era, elements of the 14th provided border security along the Fulda Gap in Germany as part of the U.S. Army's forward defense in Europe. The 1st Squadron has since continued its tradition of reconnaissance and security operations, deploying in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and other modern missions.
